One of the dysfunctional patterns of the mind is the assumption that the Now needs to be filled with something all the time.
~ Eckhart Tolle in THE POWER OF NOW
For, it is through prayer that we receive the courage to accomplish what God, neighbor, and our deepest selves are calling us to do. It is when we pray that we are able to surrender to a higher power one day at a time, accepting whatever comes. It is the practise of prayer that can teach us true wisdom, the wisdom of compassion, the wisdom of the heart.
